The sentence "All her years of work climbing to the top of her class would come down to this, a game of chance" contains figurative language. The phrase "climbing to the top of her class" is a metaphor that suggests hard work and effort in her studies, likening her academic achievements to a physical climb, while "a game of chance" implies that her success now hinges on luck rather than skill.
